Shadowman by Nyla K (Paperback)

A dark MM romance set in Nyla K’s Alabaster Penitentiary world — a new couple with their own happy-ever-after.

For three years, he’s lived in Alabaster Penitentiary, surrounded by the same faces day in and day out: the deranged souls he now calls his friends. They eat together, shower together, even fool around on occasion. And yet, after all that, not one of them truly knows him. It’s his own fault — he’s a withdrawn hoarder of secrets, a shadowman dwelling on the sidelines, damned to this pit for reasons he still can’t accept. Being the outsider among a group of weirdos isn’t always fun. After all, if no one sees you, do you even exist?

Then a distraction arrives. A newcomer — tall, mysterious and severely beautiful, with black hair and violet eyes — whose abrupt arrival has the others suspicious. But not him. He’s instantly drawn to that peculiar gaze, the one that follows him like nothing ever has. Trevel Fenwick actually sees him, and it’s intoxicating. He could be an ally. Maybe even more. But the brighter Trevel lights him up, the deeper the stranger slips into shadows of his own — and his need for revenge runs dangerously deep. Then a brutal storm ravages Alabaster Isle, bringing the fences down, cracking the foundations, and letting secrets and fragile loyalties spill out into the open. The war, it turns out, is only just beginning.

Shadowman may contain sensitive subject matter; please heed the author’s foreword and proceed with caution. A dark romance for mature readers. Best read after the rest of the series.

Perfect for readers who love dark MM romance, a seen-at-last outsider hero, a mysterious revenge-driven newcomer and a found-family prison world tipping into open war.
